Everyone isn’t replaceable.

People ask me all the time what it’s like being the new pope. I tell them that it’s like any other new job, except I can’t retire or be fired at this one. And not only that, but I’m practically guaranteed to go to heaven when I die. So that’s a bonus.

The Vatican is not a terrible place to live either. The only down part is that I have to wear socks at night. The floor can get quite cold, which makes my nightly trips to the restroom a little discouraging.

I have that problem myself your holiness, you should get yourself a pair of ug boots. Apart from being practical they are also considered quite fashionable and could give you a certain edge. Don't be afraid to wear them in public either, Pamela Anderson does. I recommend beige - the denim jeans of ug boots.

I always thougth Ugg boots made a guy look feminine--not that there's anything wrong with that. I just think I should look more regal and down to earth. I want to look approachable and yet not approachable.

I'm not sure if Birkenstocks have the fluffy appeal of uggies....although you could possibly solve this problem by lining a pair with a soft fur of your choice. This could give your footwear a subtle elegance on the inside, yet outwardly present somewhat of a 'common touch' that is sure to go down well with the masses.

By the way, this is not a criticism, just a suggestion...you really should try and do something about your posture.

how about those colourful slippers from china? Blue is masculine and yet they would still be pretty.Is there a lot of marble in your bedroom? Did you take Pope John Paul II's old room, or do you get a new one?

Hey pope. Not to downplay the Ugg boots or socks idea... but perhaps a nice throw rug would do the trick? That way you can stay barefoot... I know how you love to show off your pedicure. Plus, word on the street is that airing out your feet is the best way to combat nasty germs and athlete's foot. As holy as it is, the Vatican has to be a hotbed for germs. Yuck.

Oh yes, area rugs would definitely take care of your cold tootsies, plus they make for good traction when you gotta get to the john fast! I have a great connection to custom made rugs and you can even choose your own designs. I have linked you and hope you will bless my humble blog.

I have to admit i do hate cold feet. It causes so many bad things. If I were pope that would be the firsst thing i'd do... install heaters in all the vaticans rooms. Cold feet can cause the common cold leading to the flu leading to hypothermia and eventually leading to death!! I guess you dont have to worry bout that tho since like you said you are garunteed to go to heaven anyways. ;)

Rhodiola Rosea is the latest natural remedy to join the arsenal of natural anxiety and stress (work stress) reducers.

Rhodiola Rosea, also known as Golden Root, is a native plant of arctic Siberia. For centuries it has been used by eastern European and Asian cultures for physical endurance, work productivity, longevity, resistance to high altitude sickness, and to treat fatigue, depression, anemia, impotence, gastrointestinal ailments, infections, and nervous system disorders.

The first recorded medicinal applications of rodia riza (renamed Rhodiola Rosea) was made by the Greek physician, Dioscorides, in 77 C.E. in 'De Materia Medica'. Rhodiola Rosea has been included in official Russian medicine since 1969.

Despite its long history, the Western world has only recently become aware of the health benefits of Rhodiola Rosea. It has come to the attention of many natural health practitioners because of studies which tested its affects on combating anxiety and stress.

Rhodiola Rosea is considered an adaptogen. This means it has an overall stabilizing effect on the body without disrupting other functions. Its ability to normalize hormones may be effective for treating depression and anxiety.

Studies of Rhodiola Rosea show that it stimulates neurotransmitters and enhances their effects on the brain. This includes the ability for the brain to process serotonin which helps the body to adapt to stress.

Since adaptogens improve the body's overall ability to handle stress, it has been studied to identify it's effects on biological, chemical and physical stress.

A study was performed to test the effects of Rhodiola Rosea when stress or work stress is caused by intense mental work (such as final exams). Such tests concluded that using Rhodiola Rosea improved the amount and quality of work, increasing mental clarity and reducing the effects of fatigue.

The effects of Rhodiola Rosea have also been tested on stress and anxiety from both physical and emotional sources. A report by the American Botanical Council states that "Most users find that it improves their mood, energy level, and mental clarity." They also report on a study that indicated Rhodiola Rosea could increase stress tolerance while at the same time protecting the brain and heart from the physical affects of stress.

This report included details of studies which highlight the overall health benefits of Rhodiola Rosea.

The generally recommended dose is 200-600mg/day. The active properties should be a minimum 0.8 percent salidroside and 3 percent rosavin.

It is important for consumers to know that Rhodiola may be sold using other species that do not share the properties of Rhodiola Rosea, work stress, or at ineffective strengths for treatment. Anyone with depression or anxiety should also check with a health professional when treating these symptoms.
